This conference is being run by the Adult Dyslexia Organisation (ADO) in conjunction with: the Department for Education and Skills, e-learning Strategy Unit (Cybrarian), and Ufi learndirect.

The Conference aims to illustrate where teaching in a dyslexia friendly, user friendly way will benefit, not only dyslexics, but disaffected learners, people with other disabilities and older learners.

This conference is relevant for anyone working within education or training. The current design of learning materials often prevents participation by people with dyslexia. For example, providing speech input and read back facilities, is far more user friendly for people with dyslexia and other disabilities, and for people with short term memories.

The Conference Programme will include a mixture of keynote speakers, workshops and exhibitions.
